Licenses are valid for one calendar year, from January 1 through December 31. Business and liquor license renewals are accepted from January 1 through January 31. Any renewals received February 1 or later are charged a late fee equal to the original renewal fee, effectively doubling the cost of license renewal. For more information on Butte-Silver Bow business licenses, contact the Treasurer's Office at 406-497-6306.

An annual report is required to be filed by statute for each corporation and limited liability company that is registered with the Secretary of State’s office to remain in good standing in the State of Montana. An annual report provides a current listing of officers and directors for a corporation and members/managers for a limited liability company. The name and address of the registered agent and registered office may also be changed when filing the annual report.
